'Carrie' Remake Confirms Julianne Moore, Adds Gabriella Wilde

Horror remakes, for better or worse, will always interest us. So when we heard 
Kimberly Peirce ('Boys Don't Cry') would be revamping 
Brian De Palma's 1976 horror classic
'Carrie,' our curiosity was piqued. The first order of business was casting an actress to take over the titular role
 Sissy Spacek had made so iconic; that task falling to
Chloe Moretz ('Kick-Ass'). Then of course there was the matter of casting Carrie's psycho-religious mother, played originally by 
Piper Laurie. The rumor was that
 Julianne Moore was in the hunt for the part, and now it seems that rumor has been confirmed. In addition to confirming Moore, the studio has also announced that 
Gabriella Wilde ('The Three Musketeers') has joined the cast as
 Sue Snell. In the original film, 
Amy Irving played Snell, the popular girl who took pity on poor Carrie while all the other kids seemed content to torture her.

As I mentioned previously, I recognize that Moore is a tremendous actress, but I'm still not quite sure about her ability to play this part.
 Margaret White is a terrifying woman with not a hint of glamor or allure. Hopefully, with the right makeup they can harden Moore's features so we aren't distracted by her beauty. Maybe I just have a thing for Julianne Moore, I don't know, it's hard to say. As to Gabriella Wilde, she is obviously very pretty, but hasn't had much acting experience. That's not to say she won't be able to pull this off, in fact it's kind of fitting in a way. Brian De Palma had some unknown kids in his 
'Carrie' as well. One in particular was some dope named
 John Travolta; a full year before 
'Saturday Night Fever' made him a big deal. So I'm not exactly dreading this based on the casting so far.

What do you guys think? Can Moore handle a part this sinister? Are you wild about the other bit of casting news today? Will these puns ever stop?

I don't know. Gabriella Wilde looks a little too nice to play Sue. I haven't see the original yet.

Cry about it.

I think Hollywood is running out of ideas. A remake of a movie that was a film adaptation? Really?

Comment by Wayne on May 14, 2012 at 8:55pm

Not sold on 
Chloe Moretz as Carrie, She is too attractive so unless the (plain her up) which they will have to do because Carrie is meant to look very basic, No makeup, No perfect hair just a very normal looking girl. Shes a great actress and will do the role great I hope they make her look more normal.

@ Charmingman93

It's an adaptation from a book. I hope you know that.

Comment by Richard Dempsey on May 14, 2012 at 4:50pm

Main problem: Carrie is an awkward geek. Chloe Mortez is... not, as a little understatement. I'll still hope for the best.

Comment by Russell on May 14, 2012 at 4:35pm

well, we will see what happens...I think the director understands how to present and show cruelty which is what Carrie is all about.

I'M SICK, OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING REMAKES, MADE EVERY MOTHERFUCKING YEAR!

@Raymond Payne

Cool poster. Moore's a good actress, I trust her to nail the role.

Wilde was fairly atrocious in Three Musketeers, but she's just getting started. I just hope Chloe Moretz doesn't end up acting circles around her.
